Welcome to a Wintry East Coast!

The group landed this morning (an hour late after a delayed take-off in LAX) in a winter wonderland - overnight the East Coast's late winter storm hit the Washington D.C area, blanketing the airport area with 2-3 inches of snow.  Thankfully the roads weren't too bad though so we were able to make our way north to Philadelphia.
Due to the late arrival & weather we began the day late so made a couple of adjustments to ensure we fitted in all our sightseeing - breakfast was a shorter than planned stop & upon arrival we dove straight into lunch & then our guided walking tour, led by a historical character - the captain of the United States' first marine corps & was present at the first reading of the declaration of independence.
By the time we finished our walk & visited Independence Hall it was very cold so we paid a quick visit to the Liberty Bell before heading to the hotel to check-in, warm-up & change.
An hour later everybody was warm & dry as we headed to dinner at Steaks on South, one of "Philly's Top 10 Cheesesteaks", a metro-ride & walk away, where we had cheesesteaks & Philadelphia's very own 'Tastykakes' - a fitting way to end a day in Philly.
